This really doesn’t have to do with “video” hardware, but it is a hardware question. I want to buy a hardware firewall/router to take to college with me. I was hoping that I could tell you great forum readers what I want to do with a firewall/router and you could hopefully give me your best recommendation.
This is what I want to do.
1.I want a hardware firewall that offers good enough protection so it isn’t necessary to run a software firewall all the time.
2.I plan to run a Linux Apache server on my connection besides my desktop and sometimes laptop, so would I need a piece of hardware with a DMZ?
3.I already have a five port 10/100 switch, so that aspect really isn’t needed
4.The connection will be a college cable connection.
I figured that I need a router so that way I could hook up multiple computers to my connection without the university knowing. Does that sound like a good reason? The last question is a serious one. I figured that they would be able to detect my multiple connections unless I had a router.
As always, any replies are much appreciated
